Introduction: An important time concept is The Foundation of The World. This gives rise to two ages, either Before The Foundation of The World or Since The Foundation of The World. The time Before The Foundation of The World, takes in everything that happened prior to that event. This present age of redemption is The World referred to by scripture. This 6,000 year age of redemption began with Adams fall. The other information contained in bible scripture is provided as a foot note to facilitate understanding Gods plan of redemption. For scripture is but a love letter from a jilted lover to his lost love, mankind. Man, made in the likeness of God, has no greater purpose than to reflect the light and image of the unseen Godhead. For as the moon is to rule the night so also is regenerated man to rule or fill the darkness of this fallen age. We are told the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world. Thus the world or this age was founded when the Lamb was slain. When did that happen? It happened shortly after the fall of man. The Genesis account tells that after man ate of the forbidden fruit he sewed garments from fig leaves to cover his nakedness. Gods question was, who told you that you are naked? Adams fig leafs speak of man trying to redeem himself or cover his nakedness. Not pleased with this act of works, the Elohim slew an animal to cloth man. That act of grace signifies the slaying of the Lamb, Christ our eternal reconciliation unto a righteous God. For without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. But the blood of Lambs and calves cannot eternally cover our sin. Only Christ who entered the Holy place by way of his own blood could forever cover our sins. Christ death made a way for wayward man to stand once again in presence of a righteous God. This was by offering the just for the unjust, the clean for the unclean. Before the fall there was not a need for redemption. After the fall God made a complete work of reconciliation. For it was then, that Christ agreed within the Godhead Foundation of The World FOTW range (Elohim) to die for the sins of all humanity. Baptism Yr.AD 26 27 29 Number Our Days Elapsed years 4000 4000 4000 So when did this event happen? All that is told by the AM upper BC 4104 4103 4101 Genesis account is that Adam was 130 year old when AM lower BC 3988 3987 3985 Seth was birthed and Adam lived 930 years. The birth Basis: plausible Year for Jesus Baptism of Seth is an important event. For by that we know the fall was prior to Seths birth. If Seths birth preceded Sin, then not all would be polluted by sin. But scripture says by one man sin entered all. Resolution of this question had to await the Kingdom of God. This happened when Jesus was baptized in the river Jordan.

Jesus said that the Law and the Prophets were until John, since then the Kingdom is preached. Again Jesus said if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has come. Again: How God anointed Jesus 2, Anno Mundi dates v. Age of Adam at Sin with the Holy Spirit and he went about doing good Year A.M. BC 3987 4004 4103 and healing all those oppressed of the devil. The Adam sin year BC 3974 3974 3974 Anointing of Jesus happened at Jesus Baptism in Adams Age at sin 13 30 129 river Jordan on the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar, etc. This being about 27AD by most accounts. John was 3 month elder to Jesus. Jesus baptism being at about age 30 and John likely started his priestly work about age 30 also. So, the baptism of Jesus likely happened around 27 or 28 AD. The millennial week concept states: just as God created T3 FOTW dates v. 6000 years the world in six days and rested on the seventh, so also FOTW Yr. BC 3974 4004 4167 6k Yr. Determ. Time 6000 6000 6000 shall He make a new heaven and new earth after 7 Year 6k AD 2027 1997 1834 millennial days. Those days being numbered as one rest FOTW, Foundation Of The World (Shabbat) day of messianic rule when evil is banished, two days for the Kingdom of God (yemot Hamshiach), two days of Abrahamic covenant (Torah) and two days of darkness (Tohu). The elapsed time (The law and prophets) until John were 4000 years. Thus (Table1) four thousand years prior to 27AD is the year 3974BC. Bishop Usshers bible Genesis 2 Creation Account T4 Genesis 1 Creation Account chronology concluded No restriction on eating any fruit A restriction on eating one tree's fruit that Adam was created male & female made in image of God Man created as a living soul, breath of life in 4004BC. By Usshers male created first, after several events chronology, the age of male & female appear at same instance the female created from man Adam upon starting his no mention of good and evil tree of the knowledge of good & evil ministry of sin was 30, possibly a post-Evil world surely Post-Satan world (26+4), T2. The surely a pre Sabbath World possibly a post Sabbath world plausible date range for Anno Mundi (AM) would range from 4103BC and 3987BC, as detailed in Table2, based on Table1 and allowed age for Adam. That which has been, shall be or End from the beginning The seven days of creation explain that just as God made this world in six days and rested on the 7th day He shall complete the world re-creation in seven millennial days. The completion of Solomons temple in 7 years also alludes to this concept. The book of revelation also shows this concept. For after the world rests from sin for a millennial day, it is explained God begins his work anew by casting Satan into the Lake-of-Fire.

After that John says he beheld a new heaven and new earth come into existence. However unless one looks at the 7000 years from a Foundation of the World (FOTW) basis, then scripture makes no mathematical sense. This is explained in table3. This table adds 6000 years to the commonly accepted Anno Mundi dates of 4004BC and 4167BC. As seen for both these dates the 7th millennium should have begun in either 1997 or 1834 respectively. Only by separation of FOTW from the creation of the world can millennial days reconcile with a creation timeline.

every green herb for food. But the creation account of Gen2.9 there was placed a garden of trees, pleasant to the sight and good for food. In the Gen2 account a restriction is placed on eating of one particular tree. Another difference in Gen1.27 creation is that in the image of God He created him, male and female. Thus is a sense of immediate creation of a breeding species of humans in His image 1.28 and 1.26. But not until chapter 2 and after the Sabbath rest that one is

told and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being, Gen2.7. Further the Gen 2 account has the woman being created after the garden was made and after Adam named every beast. Thus the Gen2 account has a definitive space of time between creation of man and woman. This is not given in Gen1.27 account. These points are detailed in Table4.

The above diagram chart from Larkin was modified to better see these concepts. The Tables 5 & 6 provides scripture references to the concepts given in Larkins chart. Simply stated there were likely other ages prior to the current world. For this world concept deals with fallen man upon whom God breathed a soul. It is likely that older humanoid types were devoid of a living soul. This is called the Gap Theory of Creation. Appendix 1 Chronology Comparisons with TBC Age of Sin The Balfour Century, TBC, method uses Age of Sin or Foundation of the World (FOTW) basis of chronology. The best way to place some perspective upon this method is by comparison to others work. TBC perspective is that the baptism of Jesus by John in river Jordan at year 27AD (+/-2) defined the beginning of the Kingdom of God. When Jesus stated the Law and Prophets were until John and since then the Kingdom of God is preached, then He announced the final 3000 years of this age. The Foundation of the World (FOTW) began when the Lamb of God was slain and this event happened when man sinned. The sin of man made it necessary for God to begin a new work of creation to make a new heaven and new earth. This present work of creating a new heaven and new earth is a seven thousand year process. Seven thousand years corresponds to seven millennial days. These days were divided at the river Jordan by Jesus baptism, just as God parted the river Jordan for the Children of Israel to enter the Promised Land in the days of Joshua. Joshua is the Latinized Hebrew name of Jesus. This supernatural parting of Jordan again happened upon Elisha getting the double portion from Elijah. Again as a symbol of starting a new era whereby the work of God would be completed in double rhythm compared to the prior pace. The work time prior to Jesus crossing Jordan was 4000 years. The work time remaining after Jesus crossed Jordan by his baptism was 2000 years, with one millennial day of rest after the work of God is complete. This makes a total of 7000 years. Four thousand years prior to 27AD was the year 3974. This year 3974 represents also the year when this present world of sin and redemption was founded, FOTW. The sin of Adam slew the Lamb of God which in-turn, founded this present world of sin and redemption by grace. By scripture & Josephus there is sufficient information to compile an approximate chronology from Adam unto Christ. This was done by Ussher. However there is not given a specific age or date when Adam sinned. It is TBC view that any reasonable chronology must fit within the 4,000 years prior to 27AD, the age of Adam, and the age of Adam when his first son Seth was born. For if Adam sinned after Seths birth in Adams 130th year, then Seth would be born sinless.

But scripture says by one man all mankind inherited a sin nature. Such transmittal would not be possible were Seth born to a sinless Adam.

For chronologys younger than about 3987, such as Luther and younger, either Adam would be unborn by TBC chronology or Adam (and surely Eve) under age of accountability. This leaves chronologies that fit TBC dating as given in Table8. The range of AM dates that fit observation will vary from about 3987BC unto 4103AM. Some listed Chronologies would be: Kepler, Newton, Ussher, Pereia, Henri, and Maimoness. Adams determined age would range from 13 years unto 129 years.

A Simple Chronology An easy chronology is compiled in Table9. This is accomplished by adding up the age when each patriarch fathered from Adam unto Isaac. The age is from the referenced scripture. About Shem it is told he begat at age 100 and that was two years after the flood, Noahs 602 year. This means he was born in Noahs 502 year. For Terah, it was at Abraham age 75 when he left Haran and Terah died shortly thereafter at age 205. Thus Terah was age 130 upon Abrahams Birth. The years unto the Exodus from covenant confirmation by Isaac birth at Abraham age of 100 was 430. Solomons temple was anointed 488.5 years after the Exodus, T9B. By TBC method there are 1000 years from Solomons temple anointing unto Christ anointing by baptism in river Jordan. Total years are 4026.5 from Jesus anointing to Adams creation, T9. TBC chronology takes Christ baptism to end the 4 millennium after Adams sin. The age of Adam at sin by this chronology is 26.5, (4026.5-4000).

At 27AD, AM is 4000.5BC? Ussher placed Anno Mundi at 4004BC and Jesus Baptism at 27AD. The difference in this chronology and Ussher is 3.5 years, (4004-4000.5). This is also seen by the calculated age of Adam at sin. By Ussher this age is 30 and TBC chronology is 26.5 years, so again a 3.5 year difference, (27AD baptism)

Jesus said, destroy this temple and in three days I shall raise it anew. The temple was the Christ himself. The anointing at baptism in river Jordan marked the Kingdom era. Not one recorded miracle was performed until after his anointing. The work of messiah began only after baptism by water and Spirit. The same can be said of Solomons Temple. It was at the dedication that the glory of God filled the temple and God set His Name or Logos there. Many incorrectly mark time from Jesus birth or death. This is not taught by Luke16.16. Nor is the start of Solomons temple an august date. Rather it is the dedication or anointing dates for these two temples that mark time. The importance of Jesus baptism can be seen by the six date markers Luke affixed to that

Jesus baptism by John began the Kingdom Epoch. If time is linear, then knowing one point in the divine calendar allows mapping all other seven days into Gregorian time. Whilst there may be minor disputing about the precise counting of the 15 th year of Tiberius Caesar, etc, all concur to within a few years (range 26AD to 29AD). The birth of Jesus in Year 4BC fits within both historical and prophetic documentation. The Biblical Seven Days of Creation teach us to consider that God shall complete all his work with fallen mankind and make a new creation in seven days of one thousand years each.

"There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.' Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.' Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead. Go page 1
